Figure 4 Correlation Analyses

Correlation analyses between changes from baseline in the ergoreflex component of the ventilatory response to handgrip and those in VE/VCO 2 slope and peak oxygen uptake (VO 2) in the placebo and sildenafil groups at 3- (open circles) and 6-month (solid circles) treatment. VCO 2 = carbon dioxide production; VE = ventilation.
